The Suppressor and the Suppressed portrays an unequal emotional dynamic—one figure elevated and imposing, while another remains vulnerable beneath. The upward stride contrasts sharply with the grounded, strained form below, creating a tension that reflects dominance, pressure, and imbalance. Through bold pastel strokes and symbolic movement, the artwork exposes the hidden emotional structures that shape relationships: control, dependency, resistance, and the silent weight carried by the suppressed.
